TWO MEDFORD MAIL-THIBUNE Hal Newhouser To Oppose Borowy In Series Opener ' Detroit. Oct. 2 (U.R) A cou ple of guys who have it in the clutch drew the honor today of going after the first game of what probably will be tiie rich est world series In history. It will be Fordham Hank Bor owy for the Chicago Cubs and a home town boy, Hal Newhouser, tor the Detroit Tigers when the series opens here tomorrow with the National league pennant winners 2 to 1 favorite.

This is a red-letter yearl Such a year has never been be fore! This is glorious Victory Year! i Yet, In Europe, China and the Philippines, our friends still need our help amid the ashes of disaster. Let us share with them soma of our Victory Year good fortune. Let us dig down for the War Chest, remembering that more than half our con tribution will go to the war service agencies all over the globe the USO, United Sta men's Service, and many others. ' At home, community agen cies also need extraordinary help. For them, it's Victoty Year, too . . . but a Victory Year that has brought with it many problems. These problems reach into every city, village and town into jour community. ' It all adds up to this: We've some extra concerns this year because our Nation has won the greatest war in history.

Ocf. 2, 1943 take the all-Important opening game. Borowy and Newhouser were the pennant clinching boys of 1945. Fordham Hank, the sec ond man in history to split 20 or more victories between the two Major leagues in a single season, drew the opening hurling assignment from Manager Char ley Grimm for he knows the De troit Tigers, and what's more, knows how to beat them. O'Neill Decided Grimm decided yesterday that Borowy would be his man, after toying with the idea of starting Henry Wyse, a fast curve artist, or Claude Passeau, a veteran of the pitching wars. There never was any question about Steve O'Neill's starter. It's been Lefty Hal oil the way and he cemented it when he turned back the St. Louis Browns Sunday in the game whlcli gave the Tigers the Ameri can league championship. That was his 25th victory making him the' wlnnlngcst pitcher in the Majors. It wasn't quite up to his 1944 standard when he won 29, but It was enough to retain the honor of being the top winner In the Ma jors. Cubs Slate Workout The Cubs, who arrived late last night, were scheduled for a workout at Briggs Stadium this afternoon, while the Tigers were due to go through a fielding and batting drill at noon. The rain of yesterday promised to subside to permit the clubs to work out and clear weather was promised for the opener tomorrow. Like hotel rooms, tickets were out of this world. The overflow crowd for this first peacetime series was being taken care of In two "floating" hotels. They tied up two Great Lakes steam ers, which usually ply between here and Cleveland, so some of the too many people would have a place to sleep. Tickets Sold It even will be worse for the ball game tomorrow. Ticketa have been sold out for days but some persons still figured that somehow, somewhere they would find friends who could fix them up. One thing was sure with the scries being played at Briggs stadium and wrigley field, an all time high for world series re ceipts appeared certain. If they oxceed the previous high of 1935 when -the Tigers defeated the Cuba four games to two in the only series they have won from the Windy City boys in three meetings, It will mean that each player on the triumphant side will receive more than $8,644.- 78. That was the swag that the Tigers received when they de feated the Cubs that year. With Briggs stadium and Wrig ley field handling a capacity of approximately 60,000 paid It ap peared a sure bet that the players pool, formed from the first four games only, would exceed any amount the follows who have been in the blue-ribbon classics of the game ever have divided before. HOLMES. MAYO RECEIVE MAJOR LEAGUE HONORS St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 2 Tom my Holmes, outfielder of the Braves, and Eddie Mayo, second baserran of the Tigers, today were nnnounced as selections of The Sporting News as the most valuable players In the major leagues for 1945.

Ex-sergeant Joe, who received his honorable discharge from the army at nearby Camp Shanks yesterday, declared with gusto. "Ah II see every game of that series at Detroit and Chicago, too."

Then he will go to Los Angeles, where he in tends to relax and do prelimin ary conditioning until January He admitted, with a chuckle, that most of this preliminary work would be confined to golf "Muh favorite form of train In." , In January, he will return to New York and confer with Jacobs about the. "big fight" in June his second title defense against Billy Conn who was re cently discharged from the army. They will decide whether Joe will have any tune-up bouts, whether he will go on an ex hibition tour or whether he will merely concentrate on prepara tions to meet the Pittsburgh Irishman who put up such a great fight In June 1941.

Portland, Seals Beaten To Tie Up Coast Loop Playoff (By United Press) The Sacramento Solons and the Seattle Rainiers, as though spurred by a common determina tion, defeated San Francisco and Portland, respectively. Monday night and left each series of the semi-final Pacific Coast league playoffs for the Governors' cup tied at three games apiece. Credit for Seattle's 4-3 victory over Portland went to veteran Hal Turpin, who outpltched three Beaver moundsmen, while another old-timer of the circuit, Jo Jo White, turned the trick that enabled Sacramento to nose out the Seals, 1-0. Beaver Lead After spotting the Beavers with a three-run lead in the first inning, the Rainiers started their comeback with one run in the sixth when Bill Matheson tripled to center and scored on George McDonald's fly to deep center. Seattle started a three-run AIR POWER VITAL TO RETAIN PEACE; Air power is peace power, and since America is now the most powerful of all nations fn the air, we must use this power as an instrument to keep the peace, declared Harvey Stowers, assistant to the president of the Aircraft Industries Association of America in an address before (he Jackson County Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel Holland Monday noon. Stowers said that this country, and the entire world, is entering on the "air age" end that cities and coun tries without adequate air parks, strips, terminals and harbors will be "by-passed by travelers and commerce." Air Conscious America U as "air conscious" now as she was "auto conscious" after the last war. Stowers de clared, and said that with a half millijn trained pilots, as com pared to a mere 30,000 before the war, we will soon be a na tion on wings instead of on wheels. With the new high-speed 100 to 200-passenger transports now in the process of develop ment and soon to be put into service, any point in the world will be within a few hours of Med ford, the speaker declared, and predicted that jet-driven transports capable of traveling 1500 miles an hour will be In use within the next i e v e r a 1 years. Where formerly a few thou sand persons could afford to trave' to other countries, air travel will place this within the reach of V8st numbers who will be able to spend their vacations with a trip to any part of the world, Stowers said, and added that tnls Inter-mingling of peo ple would be a factor for peace and also Increase our volume of ejay-- GET A WITH THE TELEPHONE COMPANY Girls and Women are needed in our com pany as: TELEPHONE OPERATORS Experience not ntetssary Pay tchila looming Scheduled salary incrtasri locations with pay Pleasant working conditions Apply at: US No. Bartlett Street.

Tur pin walked and Finley scored the second run on Bob Gor bould's double. . Seattle chalked up the clinch ing tally when Hal Patchttt walked and Turpin came in on Bill Matheson's single. Mooty gave up the Beaver mound in the seventh to Jack Tising, who was replaced in the same frame by Roy Helser. Sacramento's game at San Francisco was scoreless until the first of the ninth, when Solon Ed Zipay singled to right field and went to third on Al McElreath's single. Jack Calvey grounded a slow roller and Zipay scored what became the winning run. Thus the stage was set for crucial seventh-game playnfls Tuesday night at San Francisco and Seattle. foreign trade far b e y o n d pre vious levels. No Barriers Urged Stiles should not set up re strictions which will prove bar riers to private flying, the speak er said, and added that restric tions h o u 1 d be on a federal basis and uniform for all parts of the country. Stowers said that commercial flying has limitless possibilities and told of air freignters bearing perishable products, small plants, styles, medicines newspapers and mag azines and said that "now we are talking of a five-cent ton mile rate whereas a little while ago we were talking of a 25-cent ton-mile rate." Stowers urged his listeners to work towards maintaining a high level of scientific research in this country and declared that if w had spent a fraction of the cost of the war on research be fore the war, "There is a strong possibility that Hitler would never have dared to attempt his plant." He pointed out that both the rocket and jet-propulsion were first discovered in this country, the former many years before the war, but that we neglected furthet research and allowed the Germans to develop them into weapons turned against our na tion. Planes Save Country Documents and plans seized from the Germans show that without the vast air power which the allices were able to throw on to Germany, destroy ing tbeir laboratories and fac tories, this country might , well have been the target of rocket bombs and other weapons which are je oiBrraad by JOT FLASHES? ,Tf you suffer from hot flashes feel weak, nervous, htphxtru rur al bit blue at tlmrs due to the func tional "middle-age" period peculiar to women try this gmit medicine Lydta.

JOB ml Hi oJl rm would have changed the eoure of the war, Stowers declared. He added that airplane factories here were tooled for war long before Pearl Harbor not because of our foresight but because of contracts from England and France and urged his listeners never again to let the nation "re turn to the horse and buggy thinking of 1933 and 1919" but to remember that "the next war will be the last because there won't be anyone left to fight a fourth." if a few atomic bombs are dropped.
